Author's Notes:
I am so sorry if I'm confusing every one. I keep changing the spelling of
Reuol. That is the correct way to spell his name. I had to go back to the
chapter I introduced him and make sure how I had it spelled. I hope some
confusion on other things in my story are answered in this chapter. I'm
trying to tie up those loose ends.
Chapter 13- Flawless????
The scenery was of a desert with the ground was pure red, and the
hills in the distant where the shade of black. Red light outlined the
peaks of the hills. Overhead dark storm cloud loomed, flashing lightning
and cracking thunder. There James stood, not knowing where the heck he
was. A strong wind blew at his back, he started calling out if anyone was
around. "Hello! Is anyone here?" But only to hear his echo answer
him.
"What the hell is this place? Why am I here?" James strongly
wanted to be held by Rance's strong, safe arms.
A soft, but demonic voice said something in the wind, "Let me
out!!'
James spun around to see where the voice came from, but nothing but
more desolate landscape. A bright flash of lightning filled the sky.
James just stood there, not knowing what to do. Then suddenly he felt
something coming towards him. He looked up and saw a shadowed figure
falling down from the sky directly at him. Whatever the figure carried
pierced through his flesh, as James just inhaled a deep breath. No scream
came from his voice, he just fell to the crimson colored ground.
James sprung up from his sleep. He felt like he couldn't breath as
heavily as his breathing was at that moment. Sweat covered his forehead
and started to make it's way down his neck. The light on Rance's table
flicked on, as James squinted his eyes from the light. "Something
wrong?" Rance asked concerned, squeezing James' hand.
James realizing it was just a dream, turned around and looked at
Rance, who had panic written on his face. "I'm fine, it was just a
dream." James squeezed Rance's hand reassuring him it was okay.
"I'm going to step out to cool down a bit." James got out of
bed and head to the doors that led out to the balcony.
It was still snow a little bit, but not much snow had stayed on the
ground. Before he knew it he transformed into his wolf form. "What
the????" He thought out load.
Rance heard James and looked out the window. Rance thought it was
strange that James would be in his wolf form. "What's going on
James?" Rance sent to James.
"I don't know, I was just standing here and bam! I transformed.
I didn't think of transforming, or even want to." James had a tone of
panic in his voice.
James turned around to look inside and his eyes flashed red, with a
look of intentional killing. Now Rance knew there was something wrong at
seeing this. James just growled at Rance
Reuol woke up out of a dead sleep and bolted out of the bed.
"Huh??? What's going on?" Vance asked at Reuol's sudden movements.
"Something isn't right. Rance is in trouble." Reoul stated
as he quickly ran to the door.
Vance soon followed right behind. "Reuol, help Rance,
please!" James' voice carried to Reoul.
"What's wrong?" Reuol asked back.
Both Vance and Reuol stopped to see James' spirit appear in front
of them, telling them to follow him quickly. "Seeing his spirit, must
mean really big trouble, let's hurry!"
The now possessed like James walked in and made his way to the bed,
with blood thirst in his eyes. Soon James' spirit phased through the door
and seeing his physical form about to attack Rance. "I can't control my
body, I must do something and quick." James looked around, "Forgive
me Rance."
His spirit went over to Rance and went in his body. "Rance, you
must get out of here, I can't control myself." Rance heard James in his
mind.
Rance was frozen in fear. "Rance pull yourself together, please
hun! If you don't my physical form is going to ....kill you!"
This snapped Rance out of his fear frozen state. Soon the bedroom
door slammed open. Vance and Reoul saw James about to attack Rance,
"Please help Reoul!" James called for help.
Reuol sense that James was talking from Rance but not his physical
form. Reoul jumped over Rance, growling and showing his fang's at James'
physical form. Vance went over to Rance and pulled his arm.
The red glow in his eyes faded and James' body changed back,
collapsing to the floor. His spirit came out of Rance's body and over to
his own. Reuol, being the only one seeing his spirit, went over to check
if it was safe, "You better get back in your body. Whatever possessed
your body is now gone."
His spirit looked over at Rance. Rance was terrified. He returned
into his body. Nothing happened at first. The three of them just kept an
eye on James' motionless form. Soon a stream of tears came down James'
face. Rance dashed to James' side and sat down next to him, wiping the
tears away. "Shh...it's over now James." Rance tried to console
James.
Reuol had not noticed it before, but there was a connecting light
when Rance and James where together. He made a mental note of this, not
mentioning this to anyone.
The next morning James just laid in bed, not budging from his
resting place. The events that happened that night kept playing back in his
head. "Why??? Why couldn't I control my body? Was it as Reuol said,
something possessing my body?" James couldn't figure it out.
Reuol thought it would be best if he kept an eye on James, just in
case it happened again.
The doorknob turned. James didn't move from his spot. The door
opened and Reuol walked in, "How are you doing James?"
James didn't answer. Reuol's eyes glowed to see what he was
thinking, "You know thinking about it won't take it back."
"I know. I just trying to figure out why it happened." James
sent back his reply.
"What happened before any of it happened? Do you mind if I
search your mind?" Reuol asked.
"If you can find something, by all means go ahead." James
gave his permission.
Once again Reuol's eyes glowed. Just like watching a movie as it
rewinds he watched as frame by frame of memories flashed through he mind.
He then stopped and watched what James had dreamed. "Is this the first
time you've had this dream?" Reuol asked curiously.
"Yes it was, and it was a weird dream to. A voice told me let
me out, and then something kills me. I would say that would be enough to
wake anyone up. Wouldn't you say?" James moved his head to look at
Reuol.
"It's just a theory, but do you think some how your powers
manifested what happened to you in your dreams to actually performing the
events?" Reuol stated.
"I guess it's possible. I've never thought of that. My powers
are still new to me and I don't know the full capacity of their limits."
James answered back.
"I've also noticed something else. Your empathic ability has
grown stronger since your birthday." Reuol added.
"I never knew I had them. That's a first for me I guess."
James cracked a little smile.
"I'm glad to see you smile though." Reuol smiled too, "Do
you think you should let Rance know you're ok now? He's very worried."
James sighed, "My body could have killed him. I could of lost
him."
Tears started to well up and he clutched the bedsheets. "Yes
you could have, it's a good think your spirit called for help." Reuol
brought up the fact about his spirit.
James stood up from the bed and looked at his hands, "Until I
have understood the powers that I have received, I'll have to be careful of
how I used them."
"It's seems logical. Even a spirit has to learn to know what
it's capable of what it can do." Reuol quoted.
"I guess I'll go and see Rance, he's the one person I don't want
to worry too much." James said.
"You don't have to, I'm right here, hearing every word that was
said." Rance announced he was in the room.
James turned around, facing Rance. More tears came from his eyes.
Rance walked over to James and wiped away his tears, "No more tears from
these beautiful eyes I love to look into, you hear me? I'm more
understanding then you think. You still have to learn about these powers
of yours. Know that I'm always going to be with you heart, soul, and
mind."
With those words spoken to him, James just wrapped his arms around
Rance. "I'm so grateful to know I have such wonderful wolf guardians
around me." James motioned to Reuol to come over.
Reuol walked over not knowing to expect. James put his arm around
him and squeezed him. Reuol smiled and hugged him back.
"Hey what about me?" Vance piped up.
James motioned for Vance to come join the group hug. "Yes even
you're part of the wolf guardians. Happy now Vance?"
They all started laughing, "Well, that didn't sound sincere to
me."
"Reuol, would you kindly jab your man in the side please."
James asked
Reuol looked at Vance, "Don't you dare try!"
"Sorry but I am his wolf spirit." Reuol remarked.
"Yeah, but you are also my boyfriend or ....boy spirit
thingy." Vance exclaimed.
For that Reuol did poke Vance in his side, "Love you to."
"Here I thought spirits where suppose to be proper and all
knowing." Vance commented.
"You expect to much from me then." Reuol cracked a smile on
his face.
They all busted out in laughter again.
"That Matthew's guy must have the book! I don't care what
happens as long as I have the book in my hands understand that!" Naz was
enraged.
"Yes Naz, we will get right on it." On of his family members
just took Naz's venting and left the room.
"If I must, I'll have to take matters into my own hands. Since
there seems to be results but failure around me." Naz lit a cigar and
sat down at his desk.
The phone on his desk rang, "Hello. Yes my dear!! It's good to
hear your voice. I need your help if you can find sometime to lend a hand
for your dad. Don't worry, finish up whatever mission you are on, then if
you have some time come home for a bit." Naz hung up the receiver and
leaned back in his chair as he let out a puff of cigar smoke.
A smile came over him and chuckled.
Reuol was walk down the hall, looking for Vance. He poked his head
in the doorway of one of the many rooms and saw Zang looking at the books
on the wall. "Master Zang, excuse me but have you seen Vance?"
Zang turned around, "I'm sorry Reuol, I haven't."
Reuol made a disappointing face and sighed, "But if I do bump
into him I'll make sure that I'll tell him you were asking for him."
"I'd appreciate that very much." Reuol smiled and was about
to turn and leave.
"Before you go, I need to speak to you if you don't mind."
Zang motioned to the couch in the room.
"I don't mind at all. What did you need to speak about?"
Reuol went over to the couch and sat.
"It's about James." Zang answered.
"I had a funny feeling you would say that." Reuol remarked.
"I can sense something happening within him, but I can't quite
place it. Have you sensed anything from him? You being his animal spirit
and having a bond with him." Zang started asking his question.
Reuol sighed, "I have sensed a few things from him. I've been
keeping an eye on him more and more, trying to read him. I know something
has to deal with the powers within him. He needs to some how to control
his emotions a little better. They seem to be tapped to these powers. He
never knew it but, he always had an empathic ability. It has been more
adimate recently, since his birthday."
"It's almost like you're saying he needs a teacher to help him
understand about his powers. His capabilities, his limits, and what rules
come with them. None of us know anything about them." Zang added.
Reuol shook his head in agreement, "Not even I, being a spirit
myself, know the bounds of what he possess. All I can do is advise him to
be very cautious when using them. Like all kinds of powers, things have a
way to come back in a different ways. Karma as you humans put it."
Zang was thinking as he rubbed his chin, "Then there is not much
we can do to help him out, except be there when he really needs our
support."
"I'll see what I can do, but even I have my limits." Reuol
said.
James was walking by and heard Zang and Reuol discuss something
when he heard his name mentioned. He made sure that he wasn't seen. After
they where done talking James thought it was best to take a shower and
clear his head.
As the water hit his skin we was replaying what he had heard them
discuss. "Do they think that I'm defenseless, that I can't take care of
myself?" He thought as he let the water hit his back, "It's true I
don't know much about my powers, but in time I will. Do they not trust me
using them?"
When he was done showering he just went to his room and locked the
door. James sat at the end of his bed, looking at his reflection in the
mirror. That's sparked that he put the quartz inside the mirror. He
smiled and went over to the mirror. He put his hand on the glassy surface
and it made a cracking sound, as though someone was walking over it.
Cracks started to form around where his hand entered to retrieve the quartz
formation from the other side of the mirror.
He set the quartz on his dresser, after he had cleared a few things
off it. "I'm not going to use my powers to instantly change it to what I
want, just going to use it help me chisel what I want it to be." James
looked at his finger as little sparks came out of the tip of it.
He started to go to work on his project, hanging the tip of his
tongue out of this mouth.
It was a hour and a half later into his sculpting, when he heard
his doorknob turn. "James are you in there?" Rance's voice came from
the other side as he knocked.
"Shit! I better clean up and put this away." James thought
to himself as he put the quartz back in the mirror, then quickly scooped
the quartz dust and put it in a empty jar on his table.
James then snapped his fingers and made it appear that he had
fallen asleep. "James, can you please open the door." Rance started
to grow frantic.
"I'm coming, hold on." James yawned back as he head to unlock
the door.
When James opened the door Rance looked around his room with his
eyes. James looked behind him to see what Rance was looking at. "Hun,
what are you looking at?" James asked.
Rance shook his head and looked at James. "Nothing. Why did
you have your door locked?"
"I was taking a nap and didn't want to be disturbed." James
stretched and yawned.
"My baby didn't get that much sleep last night? I don't blame
you after what happened." Rance put his hand on James' shoulder.
"Don't mind me asking, but is there something you wanted?"
James asked in his groggy voice.
Rance almost forgot what he had come to get James for. "Oh yes,
I'm going to be out for awhile on business."
James gave Rance a disappointed look. Rance laughed, "Hey, I'm
going to be back. I'll call you when I'm on my way back."
Rance leaned in to have their lips touch. "Okay, you have fun
with your business then. If anything happens here I'll let you know some
how." James squeezed Rance's hand, not wanting him to really go.
Rance let James' hand go, and waved as he made his way to the front
entrance. James just watched as Rance the manor grounds. "BOOOO!!!"
A voice thundered from behind him.
James jumped at the sudden eruption of Vance's voice.
"VANCE!"
James whipped around and gave him a glare. "What??? Serves you
right for not paying attention."
Reuol walked in the room to see what was going on. James gave him
a glare and turned around. Reuol thought this was weird behavior coming
from him and tried to read James' thoughts. It was like a invisible
barrier surrounded James, as Reuol's attempt failed. Vance just looked at
the two, "Are you guys okay? Is there something going on?"
"None to my knowledge." Reuol answered.
James didn't turn around. "Me either." James gave his cold
reply.
"Well, Reuol and I are going out for dinner. Would you like to
go with us James?" Vance asked.
James stayed motionless, "Thanks for the invitation, but two's a
crowd, and I don't need to be the third wheel. You guys go and enjoy
yourselves."
By now Vance got even more suspicious at James. "I'll wait
until Rance gets home and have dinner with him." James said and smiled
at Vance.
Now that James almost the manor to himself he started to wonder the
halls, sauntering as he walked. He was getting bored really quick. He
decided to go to the work out room and do a few exercises. He went over to
the punching back and started to punch it lightly. His hits started to get
harder and harder as he thought of when he overheard Reuol and Master Zang.
He pinched his eyes shut and his right hand punched that bag and sent it,
causing the bag to explode. The contents to the bag went flying all over.
James was just breathing heavily as tears started to roll out of his eyes.
He collapsed to his knees and covered his eyes. "Why would that
talk about me like that behind my back?"
"Talk about you like what James?" Zang asked.
James just sighed, "I heard you and Reuol talk about me, like
you didn't think I know what I was doing or if I was able to control these
powers.
James looked at his two hands. Zang came behind him and put his
hand on James' shoulders, "I knew you were there James. I was talking
to Reuol letting him know that I was worried about you and the way these
powers in you could be a danger to you if they go out of control."
James peered out the corner of his eyes to look at Zang. "Then
you trust me with these powers?"
"Of course. But until you understand them more and spent some
time with them, don't try to over exert yourself and them. I'm just
worried about you. Rance would be devastated if something went wrong if
anything happened to you." Zang explained to James.
James wiped of the stream of tears off his face. He got up from
the floor and wrapped his arms around Zang, "Thanks master. That means
a lot to me. I'm also scared about my powers too, since last night."
After they cleaned up the mess for the punching bag, James took a
shower and then laid on his bed. With just a towel around him and his body
sprawled out he closed his eyes. He thought of Rance holding him with his
big strong arms. James whispered in the air, "I love you Rance."
"I love you too babe." James got a reply back from Rance.
James smiled and lifted his right arm as if Rance was there and
touched Rance's face. "I'm almost done with business, and I'll be on my
way." Rance said.
"I miss you." James whispered.
"Same here." Rance replied.
Okay this is a good place to stop for now. It's not leaving any cliff
hangers I don't think. LOL Took me a little longer to get this chapter out
then what I expected. With summer in full swing I'm busier with work, so
please hang in there with me.
